Saratoga Springs, NY (Feb. 21, 2017) - Saratoga Performing
Arts Center's Junior Committee is pleased to present its popular Winter Ball on
Saturday, March 4 at
7 p.m. at the Hall of Springs. The theme for this year's fundraiser,
"Passport to Morocco," is inspired by the rich culture and mystique of Morocco,
sometimes referred to as "the land of the setting sun." Tickets to the event
are available online at spac.org Proceeds raised at the
event support classical and educational programming at SPAC.

Upholding its reputation as one of the Capital Region's
premier winter social events, the Ball will feature live music by Funk
Evolution, a paparazzi photo booth by Heather Bohm-Tallman, craft cocktails and
delectable fare by Mazzone Hospitality including several Moroccan specialties.
Guests will also be able to purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win several
prizes including certificates for fine dining, spa services, hotel stays and
more.

"SPAC's commitment to creative, exciting experiences
extends to every program and event we present," said Elizabeth Sobol, president
and CEO. "I am grateful to our dynamic Junior Committee for helping us reach
that bar once again with a Winter Ball that will be their best yet. I
encourage everyone to join us for this spectacular event to not only have a
great time, but to help support SPAC's extraordinary programming and impact on
the community."

"This is always a sold-out event, so we encourage everyone
to get their tickets soon," Ms. Sobol added.

"The Junior Committee is excited to host Passport to
Morocco. Guests will have a wonderful time while enjoying an atmosphere that
will transport them to the rich, beautiful culture of Morocco. In the midst of
winter, this evening will be a fun, festive escape," said Samantha Kercull,
president of the Junior Committee. "We are grateful to our wonderful sponsors
and dedicated team of volunteers for helping to plan this annual event. We look
forward to bringing together supporters from around the Capital Region and
beyond to celebrate SPAC while raising funds for its spectacular programming.
Hop on the Moroccan Express and join us March 4th for an adventure!"
